One reason that there are surprisingly few public Internet access points in airports is that because the airlines' business-class lounges often supply this to members for free. This removes a lot of the potential public access market. Altho I don't often fly business class, I do pay for an Air Canada Maple Leaf club card to get such access. It also works for the entire Star Alliance set of lounges: United, Lufthansa (much too smoke-filled alas), etc. Barry ___________________________________________________________________ Barry Wellman Professor of Sociology NetLab Director wellman@chass.utoronto.ca http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~wellman Centre for Urban & Community Studies University of Toronto 455 Spadina Avenue Toronto Canada M5S 2G8 fax:+1-416-978-7162 ___________________________________________________________________
